Friends of the Library

The Friends are a group of Library supporters who work to promote the Library in the community. They also help to raise funds through book sales and bake sales to purchase materials and furnishings or to provide for programs not covered in the Library's annual budget. Annual membership is on an individual, family, or business basis and is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. For more information about the Friends, please call (303) 783-6958.

Book Sale
The Library has books for sale that have been donated and that the Library chooses not to put in the main collection. The Library conducts a large scale book sale twice a year. For more information, check out the Library News site and find out dates of the upcoming sale and other Library happenings. There is also a shelf of books located inside Mile High Coffee. All sales go toward the purchase of new books and equipment for the Library.
